About New Mack Garbage Trucks
New Mack garbage trucks are built around purpose-designed LR, TerraPro and Granite platforms that thrive in stop and go refuse duty. Low entry cabs, dual steer options and large glass areas improve visibility and curbside productivity. Most builds pair MP7 power with Allison 4500 or 4700 RDS automatics for smooth launches and reliable PTO engagement, with live drive configurations for continuous packer operation. Wheelbase and axle set choices, 4x2, 6x4 and 8x4, tune turning radius, bridge compliance and weight distribution for residential routes, commercial front load work or roll-off duty.
Body selection drives performance and longevity. Front loaders, rear loaders and automated side loaders integrate cleanly with Mack chassis and hydraulic architecture when spec’d with proper PTO torque and pump output. Floor strength is the wear battleground, look for AR450 or AR500 steel in the 3/16 to 1/4 inch range, closely spaced crossmembers, boxed long sills and reinforced hopper troughs. Replaceable wear shoes, UHMW or Hardox liners at the packer face and hopper reduce abrasion from glass and rubble, maintaining smooth pack cycles and protecting cylinders, pins and slides. Fast yet controlled cycle times come from high flow pumps with regenerative circuits and correctly set reliefs, which prevents overspeed and heat.
Corrosion resistance is critical in refuse, leachate and winter brine attack everything. A new Mack spec benefits from e-coated frames, robust undercoating, sealed electrical harnesses with molded connectors and stainless or zinc plated hardware. Hot dip galvanized subframes under the body and stainless steel floors or side sheets at splash zones, tailgates and hoppers resist acids and salt, though they add weight and cost. Quality paint prep with zinc rich primers, composite fenders, protected routing for hydraulic lines and heated mirror brackets help slow rust in northern fleets and along coastal routes, preserving uptime and resale.
Tare weight determines legal payload and fuel or energy cost, so every component counts. Diesel configurations often deliver the lightest tare for automated side loader routes, CNG adds cylinder mass and cradle hardware, and the LR Electric eliminates tailpipe emissions and noise but carries higher tare that pays back on dense urban stop counts. Specify aluminum wheels and hubs where appropriate, single steel fuel tank sizing, lightweight tailgates when available and smart tool storage to trim pounds without sacrificing durability. Thermal integrity hinges on keeping hydraulic oil, transmission fluid and aftertreatment in the right window, so pair the duty cycle with high capacity coolers, guarded hose routing near the packer, temperature sensors in the hydraulic tank and hot load deflectors in the hopper if ash pickups are permitted. Disc brakes, auto lube systems and telematics like GuardDog Connect round out a refuse spec that stays cool, resists corrosion, holds up at the floor and keeps tare in check.
